City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 2
1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT
State of California Government Code Sections 65400 and 65700 requires local planning agencies to provide an annual update to their legislative body, the Governor's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI), previously known as the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on the status of the General Plan, Housing Element and progress in its implementation. State law requires that the General Plan Annual Progress Report (APR) be completed and submitted to the state by April of each year to report on implementation from the previous year. The General Plan APR is required even when a city may be undertaking a General Plan comprehensive update.
This General Plan Progress Report looks at the City of San Mateo’s (City) progress in implementing land use related goals, policies and actions during the period beginning January 1, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2025.
2. GENERAL PLAN BACKGROUND AND CONTENT
California law requires that every city and county adopt a long-term General Plan that addresses eight specific topics or “elements,” organized in any format or structure preferred by the community. The General Plan may also address other topics the community feels are relevant. Regardless of the format or issues addressed, the Plan must be internally consistent.
The City, after a six year comprehensive effort, adopted Strive San Mateo General Plan 2040 on March 18, 2024. Community participation played an important role in preparing the City’s General Plan 2040.
The General Plan team held a series of meetings and events to establish the General Plan study areas; create the range of alternatives; confirm the draft alternatives; and receive feedback and direction on the preferred land use and circulation scenarios as well as on goals and policies from the community and, ultimately, the City Council. Additionally, other agencies and utilities were consulted including the Native American tribes, county agency, school districts, water districts, and regional transportation agencies. At the time of its adoption, San Mateo’s General Plan 2040 complied with applicable OPR General Plan Guidelines.
The General Plan 2040 is organized into eight elements that meet the State requirements, as shown in Table 1 - General Plan Contents.

City’s Responsibility
The effectiveness of the General Plan ultimately depends on how it is implemented and maintained over time. State law requires that most actions of local governments affecting the physical environment be consistent with the General Plan. General Plan implementation is the responsibility of numerous departments including but not limited to City Attorney, City Manager’s Office (Economic Development), Community Development, Finance, Information Technology Parks and Recreation, Police, and Public Works.
Additionally, several other governmental agencies and utilities provide services within the City’s boundary. While these agencies are neither part of the City’s operational structure nor directly responsible for implementation of the General Plan, the City coordinates its activities with these other agencies and relies upon their assistance for full implementation of the General Plan. These agencies include but are not limited to: San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department, water districts (California Water Company, Estero Water District), school districts (San Mateo Foster City Unified School District, San Mateo High School District, California State College System), and County of San Mateo.
3. DATE OF PRESENTATION/ACCEPTANCE BY THE LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY.
The General Plan Progress Report 2025 is scheduled for City Council review on March 16, 2026.
4. DATE OF THE LAST UPDATE TO THE GENERAL PLAN.
The City Council adopted the Strive San Mate General Plan 2040 on March 18, 2024.
5. AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL PLAN.
State law limits the City to amend any mandatory elements of the General Plan no more than four times per year. Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearing by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as require by the California Environmental Quality Act.
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 4 In 2025, one General Plan Amendment was adopted for the Land Use Element. During the General Plan 2040 adoption hearings and at a subsequent public meeting on implementation, the City Council, staff, and individual landowners identified 13 sites across the city where land use designations were either inconsistent with the existing and/or surrounding land uses, or required revisions to align with City Council direction on General Plan 2040. On January 28, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended that the City Council to adopt a resolution to amend the General Plan 2040 Land Use Map at the 13 specified locations, which the City Council adopted on March 17, 2025.
The General Plan Land Use Map amendments are consistent with state laws relating to No Net Loss requirement. The No Net Loss requirement, as implemented under the Housing Crisis Act, prohibits a city from adopting a development policy, standard, or condition that would downzone property or reduce allowed residential intensity where housing is permitted. It also states that a city may only make such a change if it concurrently modifies standards elsewhere in the jurisdiction to ensure there is no net loss in residential capacity. Of the 13 sites identified, only two sites had changes to land use designations that would decrease the residential density. These changes shifted the designations of both sites to align with existing and surrounding uses and resulted in a reduction of 77 units of density capacity. The changes in land use designations on the remaining 11 sites, however, resulted in an increase of 1,751 units of density capacity. Because of the net increase of 1,674 units of capacity, the land use designation changes at these two locations did not affect the City’s overall residential development capacity pursuant to the Housing Crisis Act.
6. HOUSING ELEMENT ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT REQUIREMENTS.
State law requires local agencies to complete an annual review of the implementation of the programs in the Housing Element toward meeting City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The City’s Housing Successor Agency and Housing Element Annual Progress Report are provided as separate attachments to the March 16, 2026, City Council report.
7. GENERAL PLAN COMPLIES WITH LCI’S GENERAL PLAN GUIDELINES.
San Mateo’s General Plan 2040 complies with applicable LCI’s General Plan Guidelines by incorporating all required topic areas, including environmental justice and identifying environmental justice or equity priority communities. Additionally, as stated in the background section, the City coordinated with the Native American Tribes, San Mateo Consolidated Fire District, water districts (California Water Company, Estero Water District), school districts (San Mateo Foster City Unified School District, San Mateo High School District, California State College System), and County of San Mateo.
8. IMPLEMENTATION.
The Progress Report is focused on actions in the Land Use Element used to implement the General Plan.
It also contains key milestones from other elements that will help guide land use decisions. As some of the General Plan actions will be implemented through the adoption of ordinances or resolutions or will be incorporated into the City’s regular governmental activities, they are not individually listed in the Progress Report, but are rather noted in Exhibit A as “continuous” along with a brief description. For example, this includes routine or reoccurring work in the lead department’s workload, like the City’s Development Review process as development proposals are reviewed for consistency with the City’s policies. Exhibit A is not a comprehensive list of all policies and action items in the General Plan, rather it summarizes the implementation status of select land use related goals, policies and actions. The purpose of providing Exhibit A is to streamline the review and highlight the City’s progress efficiently.
9. PRIORITIES FOR LAND USE DECISION MAKING ESTABLISHED BY THE LOCAL LEGISLATIVE BODY.
The following highlights major legislative actions by the City Council that support the goals of the General Plan:
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 5 Ballot Measure T (Goal LU 1, Policies H 1.20, LU 1.3 and LU 1.9) – General Plan 2040 plans for specified growth and change in the City primarily focused within ten study areas. Building height limits in San Mateo have been regulated by voter approved initiatives (Measures H, P, and Y) since 1992. In November 2024, following adoption of General Plan 2040, Measure T was approved by the voters, which allowed for the City’s height limits to increase as outlined in the Land Use Element. Measure T allows the City to meet the community’s anticipated housing needs through 2040 as well as allocations the City will be required to plan for by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Since implementation of Measure T, planning applications for the entitlements of over 5,500 residential units, with nearly 1,000 affordable units, were submitted to the City in 2025. The City also began working towards a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which will build on the foundation of the General Plan 2040 and Measure T.
Historic Policy Updates (Actions CD 5.8 and CD 5.9) – The City is working to update its Historic Preservation Ordinance (SMMC Chapter 27.66) and prepare a citywide Historic Context Statement as part of the implementation of San Mateo’s General Plan 2040. This effort aims to clarify criteria, strengthen processes, and improve transparency around historic designation and preservation. In June 2024, the City Council held a study session to consider options for how to proceed with updating the City’s local historic ordinance and codes pursuant to General Plan Actions CD 5.8 and CD 5.9. In January 2025, the City Council approved funding for the update of the City's historic policies and procedures, including an update to the City's Historic Preservation Ordinance and the creation of a city-wide historic context statement. Rincon Consultants was selected to support City staff in working on this historic policy update effort. In June the City Council held a study session to receive an update on the policy effort and provide staff with direction ahead of community outreach and engagement. Since the June City Council study session, the project team has held a number of public outreach and engagement activities including three focus group meetings, two virtual workshops, and three pop-up events and has reached over 200 community members. The City published drafts of the Historic Context Statement and Historic Preservation Ordinance in November and December 2025, respectively. To receive feedback on the drafts, the City held a virtual public workshop in mid-January 2026, followed by a City Council study session in late January. Additional focus groups, including with underrepresented community members, will be held in February and March. Following this, staff will bring a revised Historic Context Statement and Draft Historic Preservation Ordinance Amendments to Planning Commission and City Council for consideration in Spring 2026.
Code Amendments for Streamlined Review (Policy H1.6 and Action CD 7.7) – As part of the Community Development Department’s ongoing effort to update the Zoning Code, in 2023, the City adopted a Zoning Code amendment to allow residential projects with up to 25 units that meet objective design standards to be approved administratively. To further streamline review of development projects, on July 15, 2024, the City repealed and adopted new resolutions to eliminate the pre-application Planning Commission study session requirement, eliminate the third-party design review requirement for projects that meet the City’s Object Design Standards (ODS), and simplify noticing and neighborhood meeting procedures. The City further amended the code in 2025 to increase the number of housing units that can be approved administratively from 25 to 99 units subject to the City’s ODS.
10. MAJOR MILESTONES AND PROJECTS.
The following section highlights major planning activities and projects that support the goals of the General Plan. Some of the projects are partially funded through grants, these have been identified with an “*”. Community planning activities/programs are multi-year initiatives and, for the purposes of the APR, the information below includes a status summary for projects that were initiated, continued or completed in 2025.
City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 6 Background on Grants
Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant– The City was awarded approximately $360,500 from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant for the development of Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise. In September 2024, City Council adopted a resolution identifying approval authority incompliance with grant program requirements.
The City began work on the plan in 2025 and will begin public outreach in the summer of 2026.
Caltrans Sustainable Communities Grant – The City was awarded approximately $490,000 from the Caltrans Sustainable Communities grant to fund the San Mateo Complete Streets Plan and received notice to proceed in mid-December 2021, and initiated work on the project as described below. In 2023, Phase 1 and 2 of outreach was completed and the City began the process of developing a Complete Streets North Central Plan (NCCSP). The Complete Streets Planned paused in August 2024 due to staffing turnover and vacancies. The project is currently forecasted to restart in FY 2026-27, once those staffing vacancies are expected to be filled.
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - The City of San Mateo receives annual funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The CDBG program provides resources to address a wide range of community development needs, principally for low-income households. The Public Works Department utilizes a portion of the funding to deliver infrastructure improvements within the CDBG priority neighborhood area. In 2024 and throughout 2025, the CDBG program remained focused on intersection safety improvements at the Third Ave. and Norfolk St. intersection, which connects to the Third Ave. bicycle and pedestrian overcrossing at US 101.
Metropolitan Transportation Commission - Transit-Oriented Communities Policy Grant In February 2025, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Planning Committee approved the City’s grant application in the amount of $610,000 to support completion of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update, which will implement the Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) policy. The TOC policy supports increased residential and commercial densities in areas surrounding transit stations.
The funding will be dedicated to completing of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update and will pay for City staff time to complete key tasks associated with the update and its environmental documentation.
Planning Activities
Housing Element Update* – Following the adoption of the Housing Element in 2024, the Housing Action Coalition (HAC) filed a lawsuit against the City, claiming that the Housing Element did not satisfy state law because sites listed on the Sites Inventory were not likely to serve as locations for future housing construction because of existing and active uses. In July 2025, the parties entered into a settlement agreement (“Settlement Agreement”). The City agreed to amend the Housing Element to remove certain sites from the Sites Inventory, limit the use of certain other sites for the purposes of “No Net Loss” calculations under Government Code Section 658631. Other updates were completed including adding changes related to the Measure T voter approval, revisions to the realistic capacity of sites based on new information, and minor changes to some of the implementation plan action items.
The main Housing Element document and Appendix C (Housing Resources and Sites Inventory) were updated. All other Housing Element appendices that were adopted by the City and certified by HCD in July 2024 remained unchanged. On December 18, 2025, HCD determined that the City’s proposed Housing Element amendments are in substantial compliance with California Government Code Section 65580 et seq. and can be certified once adopted locally. On February 23, 2026, the City Council adopted City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 7 Housing Element Amendments and the City is now awaiting response from HCD on their certification determination.
Comprehensive Zoning Code Update* - Building on the foundation of the General Plan, the Planning Division is working towards a comprehensive update of the City’s existing Zoning Code (Title 27). This will be the first comprehensive update of the City's Zoning Code in several decades. The update will allow for implementation of all applicable goals and policies in the General Plan and the 2023-2031 Housing Element (“Housing Element”), as well as address compliance with State law, meet current best practices and include internal consistencies for an effective Zoning Code. In March of 2025, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a qualified consultant to support the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update effort. On June 16, 2025, the City Council voted to appropriate funding to complete the Zoning Code Update and to execute a professional services agreement with PlaceWorks to support this effort. Following approval, PlaceWorks and City staff held a project kick-off meeting beginning of July 2025. PlaceWorks is working closely with staff in assessing the current Zoning Code regulations. The final Zoning Code document will be brought before the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to Council for review for final adoption. Staff anticipates these final adoption hearings to take place during the summer of 2027.
Minimum Residential Densities in Mixed Use Projects, Community Benefits and Density Bonus* – On August 19, 2024, the City held a study session with City Council to present policy options and recommendations on minimum residential requirements in mixed-use projects and an update to the existing Density Bonus/Community Benefits program and inclusionary family housing (two- and three- bedroom affordable housing units), pursuant to Housing Element Policies H 1.5 and H 1.9. Staff is currently finalizing draft language to update the SMMC to include new mixed-use zone districts. The standards outlined within these code sections will include minimum density requirements. This proposed update is anticipated to go to public hearings in Spring 2026.
The current Zoning Code does not allow for the higher-density residential and mixed-use development envisioned by the General Plan through the establishment of the Mixed-Use Medium II, Mixed-Use High, Residential Medium II and Residential High land use designations. It was necessary to establish new zoning districts to allow for timely implementation of the General Plan’s adopted land use designations. The proposed high density zone ordinance would implement the General Plan’s land use framework by establishing clear and objective standards for permitted uses, development form, and intensity. The work on the ordinance is ongoing, and staff anticipates that this effort will move forward in 2026 ahead of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update.
ADU Ordinance Update- Following a letter from HCD sent on October 18, 2024, staff began work to update the City’s Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Ordinance, pursuant to Housing Element Policy H1.4, to address areas of the Ordinance that HCD had identified to the City as non-compliant with State ADU Law. As a part of this process, staff also incorporated additional updates beyond those required under State ADU Law to improve functionality of the Ordinance and allow for greater flexibility in the local ADU regulations to promote more ADU development.
On August 26, 2025 the City held a study session with the Planning Commission to present the required changes and get feedback on some policy questions for additional changes proposed to local ADU standards. Following this study session, staff held a virtual community workshop on the ADU Ordinance updates on September 25, 2025. Following these outreach efforts, the draft Ordinance was further refined, and sent to HCD for an informal review prior to the adoption process. Staff then met with HCD City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 8 staff and incorporated changes based on HCD feedback into the draft ADU Ordinance for State Law compliance. The updated ADU Ordinance was brought to Planning Commission for a public hearing on December 9, 2025, followed by City Council for first reading on January 26, 2025, and was formally adopted by the City Council on February 2, 2026. The updated ADU Ordinance (Chapter 27.19 of the San Mateo Municipal Code) will become effective 30 days thereafter on March 2, 2026. The City will be sending the adopted ADU Ordinance to HCD for certification as required by State ADU Law, and staff will be working on updated supplemental materials and public outreach in partnership with the San Mateo County ADU Resource Center to continue to support and encourage further ADU development in San Mateo.
Interim measure to address consistency between General Plan and Zoning Code for heights and densities - The provisions of Ordinance No. 2024-10, approved by the voters on November 5, 2024, as Measure T, went into effect on December 19, 2024, which allows for the full implementation of the Land Use Element in General Plan 2040. In the interim, in case of any conflict or inconsistency between Title 27 of the Municipal Code (Zoning Code) and the General Plan 2040, the uses, densities, intensities and heights specified in Table LU-1 (Land Use Designations) in the Land Use Element and associated with the Land Use Map shall control. Provision of Ordinance 2025-04 amended the municipal code to provide consistency between the General Plan and Zoning Code for heights and densities in the interim, as the City undergoes the comprehensive Zoning Code update.
Upcoming Projects – After the passage of Measure T in 2024, the City has received planning applications for 19 residential development projects (six projects have submitted preliminary applications only) for over a total of 5,500 housing units, of which seven are mixed-use development.
Many of these projects are utilizing State Density Bonus to increase residential units above the density limits under the General Plan and are also using combinations of development incentives and waivers under state law. Also, a majority of these projects are eligible and utilizing streamlining provisions under State housing laws and other provisions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to accelerate the City’s review process and are subject to specific timelines such that many are likely to receive entitlements in 2026.
Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise* - The City of San Mateo Climate Action Plan for Sea Level Rise will assess the vulnerability of urban development and natural ecosystems magnitude, probability, and severity of climate threats specific to sea level rise and will develop adaptation options to address those vulnerabilities. This project will produce information which will be essential to the City of San Mateo as it prioritizes projects which will not only safeguard the thousands of California families which reside within the City of San Mateo, but also the critical transportation network which serves the greater Bay Area region. In August 2025, City staff began work with a technical consultant to develop the Climate Adaptation Plan for Sea Level Rise. In November 2025, City staff coordinated with the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) to officially initiate plan development, a requirement of the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP) Guidelines and in alignment with SB 272 (2023).
Climate Action Plan – The Climate Action Plan includes strategies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Action Plan contains implementation measures in the following categories:
building electrification, renewable energy, energy efficiency, municipal energy efficiency clean transportation fuels, sustainable transportation fuels, sustainable transportation, solid waste, water and wastewater, and off-road equipment. In January 2025, the City Council adopted reach codes that require higher energy performance standards for new construction than the state code. In July 2025, the City Council adopted “Electrify San Mateo: Sustainable Building Strategy,” providing a roadmap for City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 9 future decarbonization policies in San Mateo. Additionally, staff continue to work on electric vehicle charging infrastructure to support the City’s transition to a green fleet.
Complete Streets Plan* - The Complete Streets Plan will complement the City’s General Plan Update by creating an actionable plan rooted in safety for all modes and will result in policies, goals, and prioritized projects that are focused on improving mobility, equity, connectivity, and sustainability to build a better circulation network for the City’s future. The Plan will provide the basis for projects that are planned, designed, constructed, and maintained for all roadway users, allowing the City to develop a safe mobility network for many years to come. In 2023, City staff and the consultant team completed Phases I and II of the community engagement plan and began the process of developing a Complete Streets North Central Plan (NCCSP). Work continued on both plans through 2024, with 80% of the Complete Streets Plan and 85% of the NCCSP completed by the end of the year. It should be noted that through the Plan, the City may also qualify for future grant opportunities to implement Plan programs and capital improvement projects. The Complete Streets Planned paused in August 2024 due to staffing turnover and vacancies. The project is currently forecasted to restart in FY 2026-27, once those staffing vacancies are expected to be filled.
Major Construction/Development Projects
Planning applications that were submitted during one reporting year typically receive their entitlements in the next reporting year. Consistent with the General Plan APR reporting requirements, planning application entitlements that were approved during the reporting year are included in the APR report.
During 2025, the City approved entitlements for 24 residential units, but none were for larger development projects. The City also made progress on several publicly funded projects. Major residential projects for which building permits have been issued and other publicly funded projects are highlighted below with a brief status update:
Bay Meadows Phase II MU2 and MU3 – Building permits for Mixed Use Blocks 2 and 3 with a combined 303,000 square-feet of office uses and 67 housing units, were issued in November 2025, but construction has not begun yet.
477 9th Avenue – On February 20, 2024, the City Council approved the mixed-use development consisting of offices and 120 residential units. Building permit applications were submitted in 2024, issued in 2025, and it is now under construction. It is anticipated to be completed by January 2027. 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. Intersection Safety Improvements* - A public survey was conducted in September of 2023 to understand how the public currently utilizes the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. and to identify potential areas of concern. The results of the survey were then used to guide the creation of the Intersection Improvement Concept Plan, which was released to the public on September 25, 2024. Project design was finalized by the end of 2024. The improvements will modify the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety, especially for people using the 3rd Ave. overcrossing of Highway 101. The project will also improve the bicycle connection between the intersection of 3rd Ave. and Norfolk St. and the San Mateo Creek bicycle path. A large element of the improvements include modifications to the traffic signal timing and operation to provide additional pedestrian and cyclist safety while not significantly impacting major vehicle movements and delay through the area. Construction on the improvements began in February 2025. Construction continued through 2025 with completion of the new bike path on Norfolk, construction of underground systems (new storm drain, electrical conduit and signal pole foundations), and installation of new signal poles and hardware. Construction is now nearly complete and the new traffic signal timing and City of San Mateo General Plan Progress Report 2025 P a g e | 10 operation, including the new signalized bicycle crossing at San Mateo Creek, is anticipated to be implemented late February/early March 2026.
1530 Susan Ct. Capital Improvement Project - The Marina Branch Public Library is undergoing restoration which includes essential improvements to ensure the safety and longevity of the facility.
Planned improvements include:
Foundation & structural repairs
Mechanical, electrical, & plumbing upgrades
Accessibility improvements
Exterior and landscaping improvements
Newly updated interior
Relocated deck
Construction started in September 2025 and will last approximately 16 months. As of February 2026, the Project contractor completed site demolition and selective interior demolition. Foundation work is currently in progress.
435 E. 3rd - On February 14, 2023, the Planning Commission approved the mixed-use development consisting of offices and 5 residential units. On May 15, 2025, the Zoning Administrator approved a Minor Modification to the Conditions of Approval, allowing the merger of the two existing lots.
Additionally, a two-year extension was granted, extending its expiration date to February 14, 2027.
A demolition permit was issued for the site on December 23, 2025, followed by issuance of the superstructure permit in February 2026. As of February 2026, demolition is substantially complete, and the site is nearly prepared for foundation construction. Project completion is anticipated in the second quarter of 2027.
